Providing new BIOS firmware

The vendor-specific BIOS firmware data must be made available on your web server.

1. For "legacy" BIOS devices, download up-to-date BIOS firmware from the vendor's homepage.
   

   The data are normally available as .bin or .bup archives.

2. On the web server, create a container named UC_BIOS
   

3. For each device type, under UC_BIOS, create a sub-directory. The name of the sub-directory must correspond exactly to the Type name of the devices. For a selected device, look up the Type name in the Scout Console, in the Asset window under Type.
   

   It is important that the sub-directory names of the UC_BIOS container exactly match the type names in the Scout Console, in the Asset window (Hardware information). In the example, the name D3313-A1 represents the Fujitsu S920 device.

4. Copy the vendor-specific BIOS firmware archives into the sub-directories of the UC_BIOS container named according to the device types.
   Example: \elias\UC_BIOS\D3313-A1

5. Check the MIME type settings of your web server and add any missing entries:

   .bin	application/octet-stream	default setting of IIS
   .bup	text/plain

   If you want to use individual names for the UEFI/BIOS files, we recommend following the 8.3 convention (especially for HP devices), which means a maximum of 8 characters for the file name and 3 characters for the file extension.
   For individual file extensions, add an appropriate MIME type.

The new BIOS firmware is provided on the web server.
